Realm of the Reptiles

Realm of the Reptiles comes to the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens on Monday, December 28. It's a session led by a team of reptile educators who open up the world of reptiles for anyone who wants to get a closer look at them and find out what makes them so great. The session runs at 11 AM in the Garden Pavilion, and there's a second one later in the day at 2 PM, so you can pick the time that works best for you.

Since it's held in the Garden Pavilion, you're right in the middle of the Conservatory. That means you can easily build a whole day around it: wander through the plant collections, check out the current exhibitions, browse the Botanica Gift Shop & Greenhouse, and grab a bite at the Garden Café. If you're coming with kids, it's an easy one to slot into a winter break afternoon without having to rush off to another part of town.

There's no registration required, so you just show up when you're ready. The session is included in general admission, which means you don't pay anything extra for it beyond your ticket into the Conservatory. If you're already planning to spend the day there, it's a simple add-on to the visit.
